Drain Cleaning in Mankato

When is the last time you had your drains cleaned? If you can’t answer this immediately or at all, that’s a serious problem. The number 1 reason that pipes don’t last as long as they should or that plumbers get emergency calls for sewer issues is because pipes haven’t been cleaned as often as they should be. Cleaning can do wonders for your pipes and that, in turn, will make a huge difference.

Clean pipes ensure that water is flowing properly. They help maintain proper operation and get rid of water in an efficient manner. If your pipes seem to be operating just fine, that doesn’t mean it’s not time for a cleaning. At Drain Services Inc, it is our job to ensure that your pipes are properly cleaned out to extend the life of your sewer system and prevent emergency calls to professionals such as ourselves.

How do you know when your drains need cleaning? First, if you can’t remember the last time you had them cleaned, it’s a good idea to go ahead and have it done. But there are other ways to find out, including a sewer camera inspection. By allowing us to perform an inspection, we can see just how bad your pipes are, what type of cleaning method would be best, and how often your pipes will need to be cleaned. Inspections also allow us to view the pipes after the cleanings as well, to ensure that we did a good job, and got everything that needed to be washed out.

Cleanings are also a critical part of keeping your pipes in functioning condition. How does this affect your pipes functionality? Clean pipes allow for optimal waterflow. If pipes are clean, it is less likely that foreign objects such as paper, tissue, food, etc. will get stuck as they pass through. They will wash away with the wastewater like they are supposed to. If pipes are left uncleaned, corrosion can build up and restrict the flow of water, enabling items to get stuck, causing blockages, a sure way to have to call pros like us to come and fix it. 

Finally, cleaning extends the life of your pipes. Corrosion can cause breakage and rusting, which will lead to premature replacements and repairs. These are the most costly of any pipe repair, but they can be prevented with proper maintenance and routine cleaning.

How often pipes need cleaning varies by each situation. Drain Services Incorporated can assist you in your first cleaning and evaluating your pipes to let you know how often you should get them cleaned. We want to save you time, money, and stress by keeping your pipes working now and far into the future. Give us a call for an inspection today and get your pipes cleaned to keep them working for years to come.
